MEDIA COOL
This was the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Even if you look beyond the sociological, psychological, political, sexual and what-not implications underneath (basically all sick), it’s just a rotten motion picture: bad story, bad acting, bad plausibility, bad directing, bad everything.

This was the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Even if you look beyond the sociological, psychological, political, sexual and what-not implications underneath (basically all sick), it’s just a rotten motion picture: bad story, bad acting, bad plausibility, bad directing, bad everything. Ten times worse thanRambo because it pretends to be something other than what it is—and it’s the biggest box office hit in the country as I write this. People clapped and cheered every time Tom Cruise blew up one of “the other side’s” planes. And “rock ’n’ roll”—the phrase one fighter pilot screams when he goes into combat—figures predominantly throughout. Despicable stuff. B.H.
